Why you should choose Dashly as an Intercom alternative
Dashly is a conversational marketing platform with similar functionality. It carries out the same tasks with familiar tools, such as live chat, chatbot, social media, messengers integrations, etc. But it also has several advantages:
- The price. Dashly offers a transparent pricing system that doesn’t depend on the number of agents, contacts in your leads base, or your company’s growth. The price for Dashly software is based on the monthly traffic on your website.
- Quick and caring support. You won’t have to wait long to get answers to your questions. Besides, unlike Intercom, Dashly doesn’t charge you for onboarding or customer support.
- All conversations are in one inbox. Dashly doesn’t only unite conversations from different channels in one window. You see it in one dialog. A user can start a chat on the website, then continue it in one messenger, then on another. Let your users choose the channel they prefer. Our team made sure your agents wouldn’t lose a single message in the conversation.
- Dashly allows working with leads that have been inactive for 30 days. Intercom doesn’t have this function.
Dashly transfers all customer data and conversation history. This way, your agents won’t lose the context of communication. For example, while responding to a new message, an agent sees user properties, actions, and history. No need to waste your time on clarifying questions!
Which data you can transfer to Dashly from Intercom
During the migration, we can transfer:
- leads base with user properties, tags, and notes;
- conversation history with tags, notes, and even pictures that were shared in a chat;
- knowledge base with images and cross-references to other articles in the knowledge base.
Make sure you have the lead merge with User ID. It’s crucial for migration. The Dashly system will identify a user and continue collecting data in the same card with the lead merge.

If you want to import your lead base only, you can do it on your own with the help of our instructions. Mind that you’ll lose your conversation history!
